The thing is that the reel maker was always seen as something extra, no one knew that EA would be charging people who don't buy a new game for a feature that they've been advertising the past few months.

lol gotta love how EA waited till the very end to spring on the price tag for DNA. hate it or love it, they know their business.

like someone said reelmaker on 2K7 had to be payed for if you wanted to use it and i bet people were pissed then. I think we should argue about how 2K is donating 10k to a charity for the Reverse fantasy league HOW DARE THEY! /sarcasm

prices dont drop for a video game for a long time and for sports game near the end of that certain sports season is when the price drops, which at that point for live 365 it would be pointless

That souldn't be a problem knowing how this game will turn out to be. I give it about two months for it to drop at $39.00 Real NBA gamers will be busy with the "other" BB game, which I already can see, is still the king of BB game.

Saying "well...at least its great for them!" is a LAME argument unless you are an EA stockholder, and speaks to the same bias you are complaining about. This flat out sucks for consumers, especially since they have hyped this as the end all feature to this years title. I hope it fails miserably and gets alot of negative feedback, so like the alt jersey fiasco, they'll reconsider. Theres got to be a better way to discourage people from buying used...

Now that's what I'm talking!! I couldn't say it any better myself!!...

It's a very greedy and slimy way of doing business. Put the Synergy system in each game copy, let TMobile sponsor it, but there should not be a need to sell additional licenses. And on top of that you put DNA in the PSN store hoping for a few users who already have a "free subsidized DNA license" to unknowingly purchase another one. Very misleading. This is dirtier than Madden charging for Alt. Uni's.
